Zachary Out and About

As Christmas gets closer, the Dobsons get busier. Here are some of the things we've been up to recently...

It was lovely to catch up with Marni (Swith's best man) & Miriam, Ben (preacher) & Libby and Dan (usher), Jo & baby Elijah a few weeks ago in Swansea. Marni and Miriam cooked an amazing lamb curry and we played a board game whilst Zachary enjoyed being passed around, particularly seeing Elijah and his toys.

There was lots to see at the annual switching on of the Christmas lights in Whitchurch - from the bright lights of the fairground rides to the banging fireworks, Zachary loved them all.

It was Rosie's birthday at Mummy's work, so we paid a visit for cuddles and lunch. Zachary had a good time being mollycoddled by Kirstie and we're looking forward to seeing them again soon for a Christmas meal.

We spent the first Saturday in December at the Bath Christmas market. The first port of call was a park and ride with horrendous queues, then into the city centre which as always was packed full of people with the same idea as us. We did have a fantastic day however, although it did get a little tricky attempting to find places to stop and feed Zachary when he was hungry, but the weather was on our side. 

Daddy was pleased at the number of women who commented at how cute he was; he didn't seem quite so happy when I explained they were talking about Zachary!

In addition to the many, many market stalls, we paid a visit to the smellies shop 'Lush'. The sales assistants commented on how cute Zachary looked in his froggy hat and liked him so much that they gave us a free bath bomb for him.

Next week will be an extremely busy one as we get Christmassy: we have 3 Christmas parties at toddler groups, 2 Christmas meals (with colleagues and house group) and we're having friends around for some Christmas treats.
